Peter went in vain to see elephants with his children - now he has made the solution himself

On a new website, people can report whether the elephants in Copenhagen Zoo can be seen from Frederiksberg Have.

Autumn holiday means for many long walks in forests or parks, where you can enjoy birdsong and autumn's orange colours.

In Frederiksberg Have in Copenhagen, you can also be lucky enough to see elephants, because the park borders Copenhagen Zoo's outdoor enclosure for the elephants.

But whether you are lucky enough to get a free glimpse of the elephants can be a bit like a lottery, says Peter Foskjær.

- My family and I love walking in Frederiksberg Have, where there is a completely unique opportunity to see into the elephants.

- But we have gone in vain a couple of times, and on the way home from one of those walks, the idea came up.

Peter Foskjær has made his own website ( https://erelefanterneude.dk/ ), where people can report whether they have seen the elephants outside.

With the website - which Peter Foskjær has shared in local Facebook groups - the idea is that people can help each other.

In the beginning, it was just supposed to be a simple website, but creativity got the better of Peter Foskjær, who has now made it possible for people to upload pictures, and the current weather forecast is also integrated.

- I have really enjoyed building the website and received many positive reactions.

- Messages from people have slowly started to come in. It's really fun.

Isn't it also healthy for children to sometimes go in vain?

- Even if you check the website, there is no guarantee of seeing the elephants.

- My family and I will in any case continue to go for walks and take the chance, says Peter Foskjær.

We have asked Copenhagen Zoo whether the elephants are outside in their outdoor enclosure at specific times.

Here, the written response states that there are no fixed times for when the elephants are outside, and that the elephants largely control themselves whether they are outside or inside, and it typically depends on where there is food and what the weather is like.
